steam machine

Does the thought of ironing get you all excited? We thought not. So dropping £1,000 on the Lau rastar smart iron seems a bit mad if you ask us. Bu t is there more to this crease beast than meets the iron?

world first

Unsurprisingly, this is the first connected iron that’s ever been made. The honours go to luxury Swedish ironing brand Laurastar. This isn’t the most expensive iron in its portfolio, either!

making its mark

The included ‘Origami’ board uses markers so you know where to place your clothes and how to fold them – perfect for those tricky shirts.

Smart and smooth

The Laurastar Smart has a built-in motion sensor that can detect your hand movements. Connect up to the phone app and the iron will show you, in real time, how to get the perfect, crease-free finish.

Absolutely steaming

A sensor nestled in the handle of the Smart automatically delivers the right amount of steam when it’s needed, while a built-in thermostat regulates the temperature whatever the fabric.

up your skills

The Laurastar Smart app offers three levels of coaching assistance, so you can tailor your results to your ability. The more you use it, the more your skills will improve.
